Family, police seek help locating Lafayette man last seen Tuesday

Family and friends of a 25-year-old Lafayette man last seen Tuesday evening are seeking the public's help in finding him. Lafayette police also are looking for tips in the case.

Nathaniel Tallman was last seen at about 6 p.m. Tuesday behind the wheel of his black 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer Rally near the intersection of Empire Road and U.S. 287 in Lafayette, according to friends.

He was on his way to Longmont but has not been seen or heard from since.

According to Sgt. Mark Battersby, Tallman's father contacted Lafayette police Thursday to say he had not heard from his son, which was highly unusual. The department has entered Tallman into its system as a missing person and advised other state law enforcement agencies to look out for Tallman and his car, which has temporary license plates.

"Right now, we are investigating all the information given to us to the fullest," Battersby said.

Tallman is described as white with brown hair and hazel eyes, standing about 5-foot, 10-inches tall. He was last seen wearing black sweat pants with a white stripe down the side and a white North Face jacket.

Friends and family do not believe Tallman intentionally ran away or took his own life.

Anyone with information about Tallman is urged to contact Lafayette police at 303-665-5571 or through Boulder County emergency dispatch at 303-441-4444. Information may also be provided to his friend Zalyn Lee by emailing TheDGAFLifer@gmail.com.
